Applicable Boundaries:
12. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by
regulations in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The
Compliance Boundary for the disposal system individually permitted prior to
December 31, 1983, is established at either 500 feet from the waste disposal area,
or at the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An
exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance
Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action according to 15A NCAC 2L
.0106(d)(2).
13. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by
regulations in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The
Compliance Boundary for the disposal system individually permitted after
December 31, 1983, is established at either 250 feet from the waste disposal area,
or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal
area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the
Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action according to
15A NCAC 2L .0I06(d)(2).
14. The REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the disposal systems midway
between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area.
Any exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall require action in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106(d)(1).
Additional Requirements:
15. Waste application activities shall not occur when the vertical separation between
depth of application and the water table is at less than one (1) foot. Verification of
the water table elevation can be confirmed by water level readings obtained from
the monitor well(s) near the site or auger boring(s), which must be done within 24
hours, prior to application of wastewater. Any open borings must be properly
filled with native soil, prior to application to decrease the chance of any waste
contaminating the groundwater.
16. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the
Division, shall be provided.
